Peter Griffin could crash the Emmy party this year, while the residents of Wisteria Lane will sit out the comedy series competition.

For the first time, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has released a list of the 10 top vote-getters for outstanding drama and comedy series, as voted on by the full academy membership. The 10 shows in each category will be pared to five nominees (barring any ties) when nominations are announced next month.

NBC's "Heroes," a best drama nominee last year, won't be this year. Neither will "Battlestar Galactica," which will have one more shot next year for the second half of its final season.

The next step in the nomination process is a series of "Blue Ribbon Panel" screenings this weekend. The results of those panels will be averaged with the academy-wide vote to determine the five nominees in each category. The Emmy nominations will be announced July 17.
